About 12 years ago my grandparents lived in Phoenix, Arizona. My grandfather was having surgery and my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. We lived in Wichita, Kansas so my mother had to fly to Phoenix to take care of my grandmother while my grandfather was in the hospital.

During the time my mother was there she had to take her brother to the airport to catch a plane. Now coming from a small city my mother wasn't use to all the traffic and the freeways. As she was driving home, on the freeway, she was driving my grandparents car, the car started to act up so as she took an exit ramp the car just quit on her. She was able to coast to the end of the ramp but couldn't get it off onto the shoulder. As she got out of the car, and by the way she had no idea where she was and there were no cars around at this time, she turned around and two men were standing right behind her.

They very kindly helped her push the car onto the shoulder of the road and when she turned to thank them they were gone. She looked around for them, thinking that they were just walking on but no one was there. It was like they just vanished. Now remember, no cars were on this road, no one was around at all. She got back in the car, tried to start it, it started right up so she was able to drive home.

Ten years ago my father went into have a routine physical. The doctor had him on the treadmill, monitoring his heart rate. The doctor said there was just a little glitch on the strip but was probably nothing. So he told my dad they were finished and he started to leave the room when all the sudden he turned around and said we better check into this glitch. Come to find out, this little glitch was from the main artery behind the heart that usually is never caught. The doctor sent my father into the hospital the next morning and by afternoon they were doing emergency open-heart surgery. The doctor told us all that if they hadn't of checked on this my dad would have had a massive heart attack within the week and died instantly.

This just happened to be the week that my parents were helping my brother and his wife move to Virginia so my dad would of probably been on the highway driving a moving truck when this could of happened.

The doctor said he didn't know why he all the sudden decided to run the test. He said it was like someone told him. My grandmother had just passed away several months before so I, and the rest of the family believe that she was the one that saved my dads life. My grandmother was my dad's guardian angel.

Now do you believe in Guardian Angels? I do!
